Looking to get into a few DIY projects. Starting small with knives and such. I was wondering if anyone knew of recommended places where I could buy blank blades that would work for historical knife and dagger types. Since I'm new at all this I'd like to keep the price down during the learning process and then perhaps, when I have more skill, buy some of the higher end blades. But I'm curious about what you folks would suggest for a beginner?

You could try www.ragweedforge.com he has a bunch of Scandinavian knife blades that are pretty close to some medieval eating and utility knife types and can be modified to suit. They are also really sharp and hold an edge well.

I thought I saw something about Todstuff selling eating knife kits but can't find it on his webpage...

Some of AC's modern blades can be modified to appear more traditional. Just finished this one. Not a great job, but whaddaya want for $18? Again, if you screw up one of these, it's no great loss to the world or your bank account.Attachment: 168.63 KB-Sean
